Christopher Louis Bosio (born April 3, 1963) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher, who played for the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners from 1986 to 1996 and is currently major league pitching coach for the Chicago Cubs. He attended Cordova High School and Sacramento City College.

Bosio was the second pitcher in Mariners' history to pitch a no-hitter on April 22, 1993, against the Boston Red Sox. The dramatic last out was made when shortstop Omar Vizquel bare-handed a high chopper over the mound by Ernest Riles and threw him out. It stood as the last no-hitter in Mariners history until the team's six-pitcher effort against the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 8, 2012, as well as the last no hitter a single Mariners pitcher threw until Félix Hernández's perfect game on August 15 of the same year. It also stands as the last time the Red Sox were no-hit.

After retiring from playing baseball, Bosio began a career in coaching In 1998. He was a special assignment pitching coach in the Seattle Mariners organization in from 1998 to 2002. In 2001 he was the pitching coach for the Tacoma Rainiers.

He also had most valuable pitcher in Denny Stark who went 16-2 with a 2.43 era. In that season he also served as the advanced scout for the Seattle Mariners in their 116 win season.
